Stranraer vs Dumbarton Predictions

• Stranraer have won just one of their opening seven league games.
• Dumbarton have made a perfect seven-game start to the league season (W7).
• Three of Dumbarton’s last five victories came without reply.

Dumbarton can continue their flying start

It’s not been an ideal start to the campaign for hosts Stranraer, with just one win from the opening seven league games leaving them at risk of dropping out of the league unless they can turn their form around.

Welcoming the runaway league leaders isn’t exactly ideal then, as Dumbarton have impressively won all of their first seven games.

Stranraer are actually unbeaten at home despite their poor start (W1, D2), yet this is undoubtedly their toughest challenge yet. On the other hand, Dumbarton are averaging two scored goals per away league game so far, and have already defeated sides in and around the promotion places such as East Fife and Stenhousemuir on their travels.

Stick with the visitors

It’s difficult to back against Dumbarton at the moment, which is why we’re sticking with the visitors to continue their flying start at what looks to be a great value price, as would be anything greater than evens.

As for the correct score, we’re siding with Dumbarton to win by a 2-0 scoreline, three of their last five victories at any venue came without reply while they won their last away game to nil.
